On Saturday, the South Americans met Serbia and again prevailed in straight sets (25-20, 25-18, 25-17). This time, middle blocker Joaquín Gallego was their leading scorer with 11 points, one more than Vicentín. Middle blocker Petar Krsmanović registered nine points for the Europeans.
The title was confirmed on Sunday, when Argentina faced hosts Poland and produced their third victory in the weekend, winning 3-1 (25-20, 21-25, 25-19, 26-24). Outside hitter Luciano Palonsky played a key role in their success, contributing 17 points, three more than Kukartsev. Star outside hitter Wilfredo León and veteran opposite Bartosz Kurek tallied 14 each for the home team.
“I’m very glad that we managed to play at such a high level this week,” setter Matías Sánchez remarked. “Today was the most difficult match for us because Poland have incredible players and crazy fans on the stands.”
